Abstract :
We present the first theoretical analysis of surface-emitting, complex-coupled distributed feedback (SE-CC-DFB) lasers with a second-order grating. It is found that lasing operation in a single-lobed, orthonormal far-field radiation pattern as well as in a nearly uniform near-field intensity pattern is fundamentally favored
